Acer Aspire 5738G shuts down! Need help!

Hello guys, i have an Acer Aspire 5738G which has been working fine the last months. However, a problem has started occurring and i really don't know what to do.
While i am playing Football Manager 2013, after an hour or so, my laptop shuts down by itself! I think it may be overheating, but i don't know how to solve this problem. Can you please recommend me anything? It's really frustrating. Thank you!

 

Use HWMonitor or similar software to measure temperatures under load for both CPU and GPU.
Also make sure that the vents are dust-free (canned air aka gas-duster comes in handy here)

 

Hello, here are the temperatures when playing Football Manager 2013. Are they high? Thank you.

 

These are fine however GPU is nor being reported so use GPU-Z to check up on that too.

 

Thank you!

 

Weirdly it's not overheating. GPU temp is fine too.

 

Maybe because the game has been running for only 10 minutes after start-up of the laptop?

 

Possibly but still temperatures should be higher at this point if that was the case of overheating.

 

So what do you suppose i should do to avoid my laptop shutting down when playing that game? Thank you

 

Does it happen in this game only or in any other game too?
Are the drivers and the game itself up to date?

 

Well, i only play Football Manager, so it just happens when i play that. The drivers are up to date. Thank you

 

i do this for a friend :
